Cursing of the Pigeons on the Killers of Ĥusain عليه السلام

1 حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي (رحمه الله) وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ [عَلِيِّ بْنِ هَارُونَ] عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ هَاشِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ النَّوْفَلِيِّ عَنْ إِسْمَاعِيلَ بْنِ أَبِي زِيَادٍ السَّكُونِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ (ع) قَالَ اتَّخِذُوا الْحَمَامَ الرَّاعِبِيَّةَ فِي بُيُوتِكُمْ فَإِنَّهَا تَلْعَنُ قَتَلَةَ الْحُسَيْنِ ع
1. My father and ‘Ali ibn Ḥusain both narrated to me from ‘Ali ibn Ibrāhīm ibn Hāshim, from his father, from Ḥusain ibn Yazīd Al-Nawfali, from Ismā’īl ibn Abī Ziyād Al-Sakūni, who said: Abū ‘Abdillāh (Imam Sādiq عليه السلام) said: Choose pigeons as birds in your houses, for verily they curse the killers of Ḥusain عليه السلام.
